On target. (Sorry for the terrible pun).

Smells like definite "Alpha Tango" (Arab Terrorism) to me!

What a great article. If only we could post this on every corner of the DC area. And in front of every politician. Heck, we'll even send a copy to the Moose tank.

I agree. Now the reports are coming out that the feds want to question the gitmo terrorists to see if they know anything.

If the feds thought it was a McVeigh type then why aren't they qustioning Terry Nichols and the KKK to see what he/they know?

[Skywalk]

Why doesn't a DC FReeper email and print this out??!!

I mean, REALLY, why not??

It brings up all the points that some of us have made since BEFORE the last shooting. Everything else just builds on the case. So far, there is NO EVIDENCE(as JHK and DD like to throw around) to suggest anything other than terrorism.

And the obvious synonymous nature of "olive" "dark but not black" and "indian?" makes me suspect great dishonesty on the part of investigators. WHat a joke that they can't just come out and say, BOLO for dark/olive/MidEast man. We don't need a sketch, just give people the go-ahead the next time a shooting occurs.

Are authorities monitoring mosques and Muslim residences? Probably not. Hey, it's just normal folk getting killed(and one of the protected class) why bother telling the truth?

PC Uber Alles.

Better that Americans die than have our brothers from the Religion of Peace "unfairly" suspected.

I do not have any evidence one way or the other on the shooter or shooters being middle eastern. But it seems to me, that if the feds knew that were the case, they would keep it under wraps.

Why? Because then you would hear an outcry from the citizenry to evict all muslims from the country. And any politician standing in the way of that would have blood on his hands.

But then of course, that would go completely against the rules of political correctness. And of certainly we cannot have that!

If LE is trying to encourage witnesses, they certainly have a strange way of doing it, by discrediting the witnesses they already have, due to "lighting," "adrenaline" or whatever.

They'd be better off asking the killer to please strike again in daylight, so that LE (and not those pesky witnesses) can get a better look at him.

My feeling is that he/she/it/they is gone the way of the anthrax killer (for now), and the supposed FBI interrogation of Gitmo detainees reported in NY Post this morning will be used to positively state that they can find no links to terrorism. What can possibly be learned at Gitmo? These guys have been out of the loop for many months (unless cell phones and TV are now among the amenities), and Islamic terrorism is not some exclusive club where every member can be automatically assumed to know every other jihadist by sight, technique or description.

John Walsh was on Fox this AM, trashing the terrorism theory, and berating the media for releasing information -- amusing, in a bizarre way, when you think of how Walsh has made his fortune in sensationalizing crime. I'll never forget him and his limousined entourage descending upon Miami in pursuit of the killer in the Cunanan murder/suicide -- after they knew he was dead inside that houseboat, of course.

This is insane. I am so sick of Political Correctness...when is someone with some balls going to stand up and say what is real?

[SerpentDove]

>>And we were hoping by Capt. Demme making the statement that witness information was inconclusive, uh, did not give us the basis for providing a composite, that would end the speculation on what the shooter or shooters may look like .WHAT?!?!?! We don't have confirmed, accurate information to give out, and we're not in the business of speculation, so we're not giving out any information."WHAT?!?!?! <<

What business are these morons in?

[SerpentDove]

I would love to see a crowd at the next MOOSE CONFERENCE shouting him down, or any of these police spokes-liars.

We are at war, and this bullsh*t must not stand.

If/when Halloween nationwide is ruined, and then it comes out that an al-Qaida or al-Fuqra cell was behind this, all the while the Democrats playing PC and ban-the-guns from law abiding citizens game (who, by the way, will be stocking up nationwide on guns as a result I predict), then you need to send a message to the Republican Senatorial Campaign that this issue be elevated and be THE ISSUE in the final several weeks of the campaign.

A nationwide backlash with massive majorities of voters rejecting PC liberals, will translate into across the board victories for Republicans in close races, and they will secure the Senate and keep the House.

Does the RNC and the RSCC have the testicular nerve, though????????

According to one FReeper who owns white box trucks, police are not pulling over white or black drivers, just hispanic-looking ones (Middle eastern looking???). Keep praying they're caught and caught SOON. I don't believe for one minute that this is some bedeviled white gun lover.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Police in Northern Virginia are parked near suburban DC area mosques, staking them out as well. A Freeper relayed this a couple of days ago on FR. Also, he said police scanners referred to 'mideast or hispanic', for sure. They are censoring.
